CARP & COARSE FISH SALES

SCALATION GENERATION

We are always looking for new blood lines to improve our carp and we have a really exciting project under way at present.

What we want to do is produce big beautiful English carp so to that end we have used some of our scaly brood-stock fish and crossed them with some Croatian strain descendants. These are all fish spawned and raised in the UK and not foreign fish. Our aim is to combine the scales, growth and body shape of both strains. These are examples of the two strains used as broodstock:

The fish were spawned inside on the 28th January 2016.

By the 1st of February the fry were hatching. Intensive feeding with brine shrimp and subsequently top quality fry feeds led to rapid growth rates.

The 200,000 fry were reduced down to 50,000 by regular grading and these top fry were grown through to May when they were stocked out into earth ponds at average weight of 5g.

The young carp have been fed a good quality fish pellet all summer and the growth increments have been exceptional. In 30 years I have never had fish grow like these. Take a look at our production curve highlighting average growth rates.

The biggest individual fish at the end of this summer is 1500g that’s a net increase in weight of 1495g in five months.

The fishes appearance has been a big source of pleasure to us and we have a full range of scale patterns from nude mirrors to heavily plated fish and not forgetting those hump backed commons.
